1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Epstein-Barr virus-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (EBV-HLH) is a serious disorder in which monoclonal growth of T cells infected with EBV and macrophage activation cause pancytopenia, high fever and acute liver failure. Patients with chemotherapy- or immunosuppression-resistant EBV-HLH require allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), but patients who have no sibling donors may not have time to wait for an unrelated donor. In pediatric patients, there are some reports on allogeneic cord blood transplantation (allo-CBT) for the treatment of EBV-HLH; however, in adult patients, reports of allo-CBT for EBV-HLH are quite limited. The present case of a 20-year-old woman with chemotherapy-resistant EBV-HLH and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who underwent allo-CBT following reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC-CBT). She achieved and maintained a complete donor type and the EBV-DNA load, and the titers of anti-double stranded DNA and antinuclear antibodies became negative. It is therefore considered that RIC-CBT is an effective treatment option for adult onset HLH. However, because the effectiveness of allo-HSCT for SLE remains unclear and transplant-related mortality is high, it is recommended that allo-HSCT for SLE is restricted to patients concomitant with oncohematological disease as with our present case.
